      I didn't mind Arya killing the night king, she does have assassin skills, what bothered me is that we didn't get to see a sword fight between the night king and Jon Snow, and also the night should have exchanged words with Bran and tell him why he is the target or why he wants to erase history and all that. Seeing the night king is the biggest threat we should have at least understood his origin and his motive. Also him demonstrating his full abilities and why he is to be feared before he is killed.

      The great war is 1 eps long. Kit Harrington slipped it in Graham Norton show.
      There "isnt" too much going on. If it was, eps1 would have more happening. I can tell u nothing unpredictable is going to happen.
      Majority of these theories in this vid are completely dumb. A TV series isn't that deep. Everything that happens is laid bare for viewers to know eg. Bran warging into a dragon? Like ok the walkers just battled them, killed one, resurrected it, used it to take the wall down - all for bran to warg into its brain and say.. thank you I'll have that dragon back lol.
      The biggest reveal left (which I know theyll screw up) is what the white walkers are and why they fighting.

      I didn't get that Bran Warged into Hodor in the past at all. I understood it as Hodor heard the echoes of "Hold the door" through time via the Wargs' remote viewing powers and it broke his mind. Thus making him simple minded, thus allowing Bran to Warg into him in the future. I just took the white eyes thing as his eyes rolling back as he had a seizure.

    • @sorsocksfake
      @sorsocksfake 5 лет назад +1

      I'm not sure it counts as warging. Evidently Bran's still mentally in the courtyard, not inside Hodor's body. Also the scene doesn't match the only documented (yes, books) case of a human being warged, in the slightest.
      Seems more like he's breaking Hodor's mind by setting up a connection.
      But, that's probably overthinking. After all, the scene already would make you think Hodor should be traumatized by that word, which doesn't seem to be the case.

    I'm glad you cite Varamyrs prologue, it definitely seemed to be setting up a big plot point going forward
    It showed upon death his consciousness blended with the surroundings until tethering to his wolf, and that skinchanging into a human is super hard when they have a will to resist you
    And he had been riding 6 creatures
    His description of their various resistance was awesome, the wolves end up bonding more powerfully, but the shadowcat constantly fights back
    And a lot of the Ravens have remnants in them like orrel and his eagle
    And how the weirwoods work by being a gestalt blend of all the previous greenseer consciousnesses

    The problem with Bran being the Night King theory is that he should theoretically be 10 steps ahead of everyone and should've been able to stop Bran before he made it to the three eyed raven, and not wait for Bran to do his three eyed raven shenanigans, as we noticed the Children of the Forest were not strong enough to stop them from surrounding the cave.

This leads to him getting very little sleep as result of the nightmares that would surely follow such a vision and descends into madness, looses his noodle and decides it's best to go for broke making copious amounts of boom juice for when that day comes.. and thus the mad king's origin story!

    The Three Eyed Raven is the only human being we've seen the Night King personally go after and kill so it makes sense that Bran would be his main target now.

    My theory is that the Night King is after Bran, specifically his ability to control the living. Right now, we know the Night King can only control the dead, however we know Bran has had instances of controlling the living (Hodor).
    Perhaps if the NK resurrected Bran or had full access to his power, he could control the living... alongside the dead. So then everyone becomes a part of his army.

    Alternative theory? I think the Iron Throne will be destroyed in the end, as the symbolic physical object of power, and the Night King may be the one to destroy it. More likely, the dragons will melt it into scrap.

    I think that’s how Bran will die:

    • @klausweasley

      It would be a stupid waste if that is the case. I mean, they dedicated an entire episode, spent all that money on prosthetics and visual effects, hired Max von Sydow to play the Three-Eyed Raven, just for a "HA-HA!" wasteful shock death on Episode 3 that accomplishes very little. If Bran dies (I don't think he will but let's just say he will), it would result in changing the tide in favor of the living.

    Also a side note, Viserion is not an ordinary zombie, if you been paying attention Night King doesn't need to touch zombies to resurrect and the only "tactile" resurrection we saw him doing was on Craster's babies. I think NK transferred part of his essence/soul into Viserion which likely means that NK and Viserion need to die at the same time. Though I doubt this will be explored in the show, as it was likely done for mere theatrical effect.

      well Bryan Cogman, one of the writer/producers on the show the whole time, he just published what he felt were the 21 (if one doesn't have time for the whole series) most TRULY essential episodes to watch before the last season, and "Hardhome" was literally the only season 5 episode on the list, so there's your review lol

      This video provides no evidence that dragons are intelligent in GoT. Even dogs can differentiate between friend and foe, and dogs are dumb af compared to humans

    Jons child will be "the prince that was promised" and "the stallion who will mount the world" Jon will have to kill his lover to stop another mad king (or another night king). or more likely she will kill herself to "break the wheel" I think Bran already knows this..
    You heard it here first 👊
    Well it's constantly hinted at and foreshadowed in themes and plots.. incest leads to madness.. their bloodline also holds magical powers you don't have a guy sleep with his aunt without this much foreshadowing unless your going to bring it to its logical conclusion.
    Also "the prince that was promised" this would have to be someone with a claim to the throne. What if they're not born yet??
    "The stallion that will mount the world" what if that wasn't talking about the child she miscarried but one she would have later with Jon.. 🤔
    I've had this theory since I heard they might be related. To anyone who's read the books. Does this sound plausible?

    The night king has come to kill Joffrey because he is making other villains look good, when he will realize that he is dead, he will be disappointed and marry Arya and open a store that sells chains...

    Considering we've seen Grand Daddy ice disrupt Brans warg ability, and Viserion has been resurrected using his power I don't think Bran will take over Viserion.
